Honeymoon In Kenya
At Amboseli

Why you should take a close look at Amboseli Serena
Safari Lodge if you are Planning a Honeymoon in Kenya

a dream come true. Where do you go, and where do you
stay when you are looking to take a luxury safari

Why you should take a close look at Amboseli Serena
Safari Lodge if you are Planning a Honeymoon in Kenya

A Honeymoon in Kenya, sounds like, and would be like
a dream come true. Where do you go, and where do you
stay when you are looking to take a luxury safari
African Holiday, Vacation & Tour in Kenya? This is the key question, and
at least part of the answer could well lie in choosing
Amboseli National Park as a favourite place to get
photographs of elephants against a backdrop of the snow
capped Mount Kilimanjaro. Amboseli is easily reached
from Nairobi and one of the best, if not the best place
to stay is the Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge.

Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge is situated in the shadow
of Mount Kilimanjaro, next to a spring and beside giant
Acacia trees, with stunning views of the mountain, and
surrounded by the kind of big game that makes the lodge
such a great place to go for a honeymoon in Kenya.

You will almost certainly see as well as the
elephants, animals such as lions, buffalos, cheetahs,
giraffes, baboons, gazelles and wildebeest. In fact you
are very likely to see Elephant family groups up close
and personal in the grounds very close to the lodge, as
there are more wild elephants in Amboseli than almost
anywhere else in Africa.

Amboseli Serena Safari
Lodge is designed to imitate the native architecture, so
it sits well with its surroundings, and the room
interiors, which are all different, have a definite
African feel to them, with the walls covered in murals
and African memorabilia.

There are in all 96
guest rooms, with 17 pairs which are interconnecting.
Unlike some lodges Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge has 24
hour electricity which is a bonus on any Kenya Safari
Holiday, Vacation & Tour, but the outstanding thing is undoubtedly the
cheerful, willing, and efficient staff, who offered
great service at all times. What is especially good is
the welcome back from a game drive with a hot towel to
wipe your face.

You will also be guarded by
Maasai warriors, although their main function is
probably to keep the very friendly monkeys at bay.

The open air dining room overlooks the salt lick and
floodlit waterhole, much visited by the big game, and
here you will eat international food, buffets, barbeques
and authentic African cuisine. The standard of the food
is what you would be looking for on an African Safari
Holiday, Vacation & Tour, both fresh, and with great variety of choice.
Breakfast and lunch are buffet and dinner is a
combination of buffet and menu.

There is a bar
next to the dining room, and another small bar by the
swimming pool, which is by the way ice cold!! By the
pool there is a supply of fresh clean towels, and
sunbeds.

You can sit on the verandah which
overlooks the pool and the gardens and get some really
excellent game viewing from there. One of the key
selling points for this safari lodge is how good it is
for access to the Amboseli game park, and you get the
chance of three game drives a day in your own vehicle
with your own driver.

Apart from the game drives,
you can also have bush dinners, sundowners at
Observation Hill, private picnics, lunch boxes, personal
game drives. There are also daily guided nature and bird
spotting walks through the grounds of Amboseli Serena
Lodge with the resident naturalist, plus daily lectures
on aspects of the Maasai culture.

Importantly
there is full medical back up and emergency evacuation
facilities.

Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge is just
one of a group of Serena Safari Lodges, but is ideally
situated for game viewing. It would be a good place to
stop for a couple of nights on any Honeymoon in Kenya.
Many families do come here as well as part of their
holiday in Kenya or as part of a bigger luxury African
Safari.

It certainly bears further investigation

Tortilis Camp
Amboseli For Your Top Kenya Safari Holiday

A Kenya Safari Holiday is made complete not
only by the wildlife seen but also the quality of the
camps and lodges you choose. Tortilis Camp in Amboseli
National Park is a Camp that you will love.

Situated under a thicket of umbrella shaped trees, and
dominated by Mt. Kilimanjaro, there are only 17 very
spacious tents, each with en-suite facilities, and a
raised veranda, with tents 1 and 2 in particular having

A Kenya Safari Holiday is made complete
not only by the wildlife seen but also the quality of
the camps and lodges you choose. Tortilis Camp in
Amboseli National Park is a Camp that you will love.

Situated under a thicket of umbrella shaped trees,
and dominated by Mt. Kilimanjaro, there are only 17 very
spacious tents, each with en-suite facilities, and a
raised veranda, with tents 1 and 2 in particular having
incredible views of Kilimanjaro first thing in the
morning, weather permitting!

Tortilis Camp is a
very well kept secret, and those who take a regular
Kenya Safari Holiday, and visit Amboseli want to keep it
that way.

The actual safaris, or game drives as
we should call them, from Tortilis Camp are of the top
quality, and many of the guests are only used to an
African Luxuy Safari, so they expect top quality, and
they get it at Tortilis. Very safe guides, who listen,
and then care enough to make sure insofar as it is
possible that you go to where the game you want to see
is likely to be. That is what a proper Kenya Safari
Holiday should be about.

No Kenya Safari Holiday
would be any good without great staff in a great lodge,
and Tortilis certainly has this in abundance, and when
you add great food, and the previously mentioned
accommodation then you just about have it all.

Please note if you are on your Kenya Safari Holiday with
dietary requests, then the chef is very amenable!!

Tortili Camp has a swimming pool, which is big
enough, very refreshing, and just the thing to while the
hours away between early morning, and evening game
drives. It is a good point that no self respecting lodge
should be without a pool, because a Kenya Safari Holiday
can't be all action, you also need relaxation!!

A
bush breakfast and sundowners are an essential part of
any luxury African safari, especiallya Kenya Safari
Holiday, and when tey are organised by Tortilis, you get
the best. Walking with a young Maasai warrior is about
as good as it gets.

Finally, the vehicles. Any
Kenya Safari Holiday is good, but limited if you share a
minibus, and have to stand up to see the game. At
Tortilis their open Land Rovers, with just your family,
and not strangers, with a knowledgeable guide is as good
as any Kenya Safari Holiday can get.

Kenya - The Land
Where Safari Was Born

As a child, Africa fascinated me - a land
where the wild and exotic animals of storybooks and zoos
roamed free on the plains. And where Kenya was always
the quintessential home of the safari.

Many
visits later I'm no less enthralled by this region of
dramatic contrasts, and remarkable wildlife amid
stunningly beautiful and varied landscapes that are

As a
child, Africa fascinated me - a land where the wild and
exotic animals of storybooks and zoos roamed free on the
plains. And where Kenya was always the quintessential
home of the safari.

Many visits later I'm no
less enthralled by this region of dramatic contrasts,
and remarkable wildlife amid stunningly beautiful and
varied landscapes that are still unencumbered by the
trappings of man. And little compares to nights filled
with the primal sounds of the bush - the hoots and
laughs of hyenas, the grumble of distant lions and the
snorts of a hippo.

Kenya, the land where safari
was born, is also known as the cradle of mankind -
evidence of some of the earliest human settlements has
been found here, suggesting that it was the birthplace
of humanity from which descendents moved out to populate
the world. However, it's the boundless wilderness and
big game of this region that has long attracted
adventure seekers from all over the globe. No other
African country can boast such an incredible range of
scenery, unique geographical features and species.

A safari in Kenya is an extraordinary holiday for
any wildlife lover, no matter your budget or the level
of adventure you're looking for. There's no end of
things to explore; from the highlands of central Kenya
to the great Rift valley; from the elephants of Amboseli
wallowing in a small watering hole, to the vast shores
of Lake Victoria, the second largest lake in the world;
and from the spectacular views of Africa's highest
point, Mount Kilimanjaro, down to a coast of shimmering
white sands along the Indian Ocean.

Soak up the
wonders of nature while camping under the stars out in
the bush, hundreds of miles away from civilization, or
relax in luxury at one of the lodges scattered
throughout the many game reserves and national parks of
this magical country.

Whether you're walking,
driving, or even bobbing your way across the plains atop
a camel, you'll discover the scents, sounds, and
footprints of the bush, as you enjoy the sight of a
hyena at full gallop, weaving behind the
adrenaline-powered run of a gazelle, or a mighty battle
as buffalo bulls fight over territory.

If you
venture on a Kenyan safari during July or August,
perhaps the best way to check out the wildlife is by hot
air balloon. Few places offer a better vantage point
from which to witness the amazing phenomenon that is the
annual wildebeest migration across the plains of the
Maasai Mara, when millions of hooves thunder northwards
in search of sweeter grazing during the drier months in
the south.

The Maasai Mara Reserve, 200 sq miles
of rolling hills, woods and acacia trees watered by the
Mara and Talek rivers, opens onto the Serengeti plains
of Tanzania. Home to the famously independent and
traditional herdsmen, no trip to Kenya would be complete
without a visit to Masai Mara. They regard themselves
not just as residents of this area but as much a part of
the life of the land, as the land is part of their
lives.

A visit to Kenya is a veritable
life-changing experience filled with an abundance of
wildlife, including elephants, zebras, black rhino,
lions, leopards and various antelope. One visit alone
will be enough to make you understand Earnest
Hemmingway's words, "unknowable, unimaginable,
unbelievable... and completely unforgettable."
